This sweet little thing is from the first crop of Wicked Strong, a multiple graded stakes winner who was a top contender in 2014 and 2015. The son of Hard Spun won the fastest Wood Memorial in a decade, stopping the clock at 1:49.31. The horse also won races like the Jim Dandy and placed in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Remsen Stakes, Travers, and the Forbidden Apple (on the turf).

The cross here shows inbreeding to Caro (5Sx4D), Mr. Prospector (4Dx5D), and Northern Dancer (4Sx5D). The Mr. Prospector blood comes through sons Fappiano and Miswaki while the Northern Dancer blood comes through sons Danzig, Storm Bird (5th gen.), and daughter Cold Replay. The pedigree also shows influence from Alydar (son of Raise a Native, through son Turkoman), Roberto, Coplean, Buckpasser, and Halo. The colt here should be able to go two-turns on either dirt or turf, but will likely find his beginning on the dirt.

Finally, the Mr. Prospector comes through sons Fappiano (grandsire of Unbridled’s Song) and Seeking the Gold (sire of Cash Run, half sister of Forestry). Overall, the pedigree on the filly has proven a successful cross with Hard Spun and Unbridled’s Song mares, such as Nomorerichblondes, a group three stakes winner.

The mare, Archangelus, is a daughter of Empire Maker who never won a race and only managed to place once in five tries. She is a young mare who has no foals of racing age.

With a filly like this one, the potential is endless. The filly is by 2006 Preakness, Travers, and Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Bernardini and out of the graded stakes placed Empire Maker mare, Artemis. The pedigree on the filly shows inbreeding to Fappiano (4Sx4D), Mr. Prospector (5Sx5D), Killaloe (5Sx5D), Secretariat (4Sx5D), and Northern Dancer (5Sx5D).

The pedigree also boasts influence from Buckpasser, Spectacular Bid, Boldnesian, Dr. Fager, and Gone West (another son of Mr. Prospector). This filly should bring considerable attention at the sales (if she goes, as Siena Farm maintains a racing stable as well), and should get better with distance and age. She will more than likely be a dirt runner.

This piece of horseflesh is graded stakes placed Alaura Michele, a daughter of Arch, and her first foal, a 2017 filly by Curlin.

Overall, this filly should find two turns on the turf to her liking.

We know American Pharoah has no issue with distance, but this little guy’s dam, Osaila, was a winner from 6-8 furlongs, and placed at 8.5 furlongs, when she came in 3rd in the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf behind Lady Eli.

The pedigree might be best suited for turf, as the Pioneerof the Nile line is very versatile and the mare is by Danehill Dancer, a highly influential stallion on the turf. Overall, this colt should have no issue going two turns on the turf.

This gorgeous colt is a 3/4 brother to Sweet Loretta by Tapit son Constitution. Constitution was a dual grade one winner between ages 3 and 4, winning the Florida Derby and the Donn Handicap. The mare, Ithinkisawapudycat, is a young Bluegrass Cat mare who has produced Sweet Loretta, a grade one winner by Tapit who is undefeated outside of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, where she finished 11th. The pedigree on the colt is similar to that of champions Hansen (Tapit/Sir Cat) and Careless Jewel (Tapit/Hennessy). The pedigree shows mass amounts of inbreeding, however. There is inbreeding to Unbridled (4Sx3D), Fappiano (5Sx4D), Gana Facil (5Sx4D), Mr. Prospector (5Sx5Sx5Dx5D), A.P. Indy (4Sx4D), Seattle Slew (5Sx5D), Weekend Surprise (5Sx5D), and Storm Bird (5Sx4D). Constitution was fragile, getting hurt a few times in his career. There is hope for soundness from the mare, but overall, this colt should show an affinity for dirt and be a sprinter type.

This leggy colt, who shows a lot of chrome, is by Honor Code, a highly anticipated son of A.P. Indy who won graded stakes like the Remsen, Whitney, and the Met Mile. The colt is out of Istiraaha, a young Tapit mare. The pedigree on the colt is loosely similar to that of A P Majestic, a stakes winner by Majestic Warrior. The pedigree shows inbreeding to A.P. Indy (2Sx4D), Seattle Slew (3Sx5D), Weekend Surprise (3Sx5D), Secretariat (5Sx5D), Mr. Prospector (4Sx5D), Northern Dancer (5Sx5D). the Mr. Prospector comes through Serena’s Tune, Preach, and Fappiano. Northern Dancer can be found through Storm Bird, Vice Regent, and Nijinsky II (5th gen.). Overall, the colt should be a a later maturing one who takes to the dirt and should be a nice miler type. Honor Code was arguably best at shorter distances, and Tapit offspring need a lot of stamina underneath to be classic type horses. This one is to look forward to.

Northern Dancer comes into the pedigree through sons Storm Bird, Lyphard, Nice Dancer, and El Gran Senor. Overall, this filly should have no issue with two turns or dirt.

This filly is apart of the first crop of Danza, the 2014 Arkansas Derby winner and 3rd in that year’s Kentucky Derby. Danza, a son of Street Boss, stands at Spendthrift for $4,000.
